Mont Tremblant 26 Feb 2007
Tempurature today : 1C (34F). A perfect day for dog sledding! Our adventure today with Expedition Wolf took us through forests with steep climbs and exciting downhills. After assisting with harnessing the huskies and an attempt at getting to know their names, we received basic instructions on how to drive the team and off we went! David was a natural with taking control of our sleigh and commanding the huskies. This is our team in the foreground. In the background, Ryan and Taylor rode with a guide.

Taylor's ski instructor for the past two days was Philip Wayland who lived and worked in Cayman for a few years in the last 90's. What a small world! Taylor had a great day and was a model student, according to Phil.

Taylor on day 2 of ski school
Showing great form in her 'pizza pie'. Taylor is having a blast learning to ski and going up in the gondola to the top of the mountain for lunch with all the kids.
Ryan Boarding 23 Feb
Showing super cool style on the slopes. Ryan actually went up the chair lift today and came down the big slopes "Flying Mile". Signed up again for Saturday.
Our hotel at Mont Tremblant
So the sun came out today! Beautiful blue sky and crisp mountain air. OK, well the crisp mountain air was more like blikin cold mountain air because it was -15c (5f) at base of the hill before the 20kmph wind! But it was a beautiful day. Kids went to ski and snowboard camp and Tina went for her private lesson with Fransois. We had a super day and nice dinner out again.
